District officials sent a letter out on Friday informing parents of alleged misconduct by an unidentified substitute employee.

“The purpose of this letter is to inform you of an investigation involving alleged misconduct by a substitute school employee who has been
removed from campus pending the results of the investigation by the Long Beach Police Department,” the letter from Principal Keri Lew read in part.

A sixth-grader named Christopher said he was the one to discover a hidden camera that had fallen on the floor.

“I grabbed it, and when I was grabbing it, my teacher snatched it out of my hand,” Christopher said. “I asked him, ‘What are you gonna do with it?’, and he said, ‘Don’t worry about it’.”
